Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. I think the Dodger bats get to Freeland early and often, but on the other side I think the Rockies can score plenty as well. Eric Lauer has not been the same arm the Blue Jays used to get to the World Series. Lauer’s been getting hit early and often and has real issues keeping the ball in the yard. I think this is just a bad spot for both starters here and I think runs come in bunches. Give me the over.
